TT069: 2016 Olympic Hopeful Joe Maloy

Joe Maloy is currently 2nd in the point standings to qualify for the 2016 United States Men's Olympic team. There is just one more qualifying race at which to earn points and that's the ITU WTS event in Yokohama, Japan May 14. Joe, age 30, talks about his path in triathlon and his current training base in Poway, California.

It's an inside look at the process and dedication required to become an Olympian.  Joe swam in college, won 2009 USAT Age Group National Championships, and continued to improve as he pursued ITU draft legal racing.  Have a listen and you'll have someone to root for in Brazil if Joe qualifies for the team.
